Neck piece



HAZEL IVI. TAYLOR,

NECK

Application filed December To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, Hazan M. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at 88 Central Park west, city, county, and State of New `York, have invented new .and useful improvements in Neck Pieces, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new or improved neck-piece more particularly intended for ladies wear.

The object of the present invention is to provide an article of the class referred to which will be ornamental and pleasing in appearance, simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

Fifith this and other objects in view the invention consists in the new or improved neck-piece and in the novel combination of parts hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawing which illustrates the preferred embodiment thereof.

In the drawing:

VFigure 1 illustrates a neck-piece according to the present invention in use.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the neckpiece separately.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of a piece of material adapted to be used in making up an article according to this invention.

Fig. t is a similar view to Fig. 3 showing the piece of material illustrated in the lat-ter ligure after certain operations have been performed thereon.

Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a similar view to F ig, 5 taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4f, and,

Y Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a fastening device employed.

In carrying out the present invention two pieces of any suitable cloth 2 of the shape shown in plan view in Fig. 3 are placed together and bound along their edges with binding 4, thus forming a closed baglike structure. Towards one end, that is to say, at 6, this bag is cut transversely, thus forming it into two parts or portions 8 land 10. Or, as an alternative two separate bag-like structures may be provided, one longer than the other, thus dispensing with the cutting operation.

A length of material is then taken and there is formed therefrom a ring, circle or sleeve 12. This sleeve may also be of a double thickness of cloth bound at its edges raarste rarer eric.

by binding 14 the same as the body portion of the article above described. it is to be noted, however, that it is not essential that said body portion or the sleeve be of double thickness; a single thickness of cloth may be employed if desired, although the double thickness is preferable as it imparts a certain 'degree of rigidity to the article. The binding, particularly if of a contrasting color, enhances the beauty of the article and gives a finish thereto but this also is not an essential factor.

Now tothe inside front surface of the transverse sleeve 12 is connected as by stitchingrthe part. of the body portion of the article, whilst to the inside rear surface of said sleeve is connected, also by stitching, the part 8 of said body, said part 8 having been previously provided with one part of `a two-part snap fastener 16 preferably disposed near the cut edge of said part and in a central position transversely.

Some distance from the other end of said part 8, preferably about where the transverse stitching 1S in Fig. lappears, there is connected, as by stitching, the other part 2O of said snap-fastener. It will be ob served that the part 16 of said fastener is connected to one face of said part, that is to say, to the front face, whilst the other part 20 is connected to the opposite face., that is to say, to the rear face of said part 8.

The construction described will be cle-a` from Fig. 5 where the various parts of the article are shown as consisting of a single layer of cloth suitably bound.

In order to use the article it is placed about the neck of the wearer and the free end 22 pulled through the sleeve 12 behind the part 10 but in front of the other (cut) end of said part (see Fig. 2), the two parts of the snap fastener are engaged and the article will then be secured in place with the central'portion of the band about the neck and the two more or less ornamental end portions 10 and 22 projecting in opposite directionsfrom the transverse sleeve 12.

It will be obvious that a plurality of snap fastener parts 20 may be employed in different positions along the length of material '8, thus adapting the article to correctly lit `the neck of any particular person.

1n order to enhance the appearance of the article the Vario-us parts entering into its composition may be gathered, tucked or i Il l) l. fis a nen artiele of neee eoinprwn *1g* "netergel'i' inann'lieeture a neel; l1 or Cloth, a sleeYe 1 said length at one l orter engtl'i )t eloth :seen-red one end to said sleeve in "'"ont of said -inentioned lenjftli,
